It would take a very long time to dry your hair with it. 150w vs 1500w
in hair dryer. Yeah, the PSU exhaust is warm, but 150w is pretty easy
to blow away.

And what do you mean "lost its PS"? It vanished in a puff of smoke,
leaving not even a specification plate behind?


It died. The problem was matching ALL the name plate specs. There are
a lot of combinations.
